               G              D
Well this ol' guitar in the spotlight
         A           Bm
Girl if people only knew
               G
Said it's the same guitar
             D
I wrote a thousand songs on
 A                D
Nobody heard but you

 G                        D
Baby you were singin' it first
      A             Bm
'Fore anybody ever noticed
    G                      D
Now everybody knows every single word
  A
Think it's time I wrote this

Chorus:
             G              D
And when my fifteen minutes ends
               A                 Bm
And the world loves me a little less
             G                  D
I hope you know that you're the only one
        A          Bm
I was trying to impress
      G               D
If I sold out Bryant-Denny
         F#            Bm
Make my sweet home so proud
      G
All I ever cared about
      D
All I ever cared about
          A           D
Was your face in the crowd

I love hearing me singing on that radio
'Cause 'at means we gonna get paid
But a hundred of his songs ain't got nothin' on
Them babies we made
Yeah, this dream come true is a dream come true
It's a crazy ride we're on
(It's a crazy ride we're on)
I know as fast as famous came
Fame is gonna be gone

Chorus:
So when my fifteen minutes ends
And the world loves me a little less
(And the world loves me a little less)
I hope you know that you're the only one
I was trying to impress
(You're the only one I was trying to impress)
If I sold out Bryant-Denny's
Make my sweet home so proud
All I ever cared about, all I ever cared about
Was your face in the crowd

      G           D
Your face in the crowd
  A         Bm
Smiling at me
             G            D
Even though you know the mess
   A                D
Behind these six strings

Chorus:
So when my fifteen minutes ends
And the world loves me a little less
I hope you know that you're the only one
I was trying to impress
(You're the only one I was trying to impress)
If I sold out Bryant-Denny's
Make my sweet home so proud
All I ever cared about, all I ever cared about
Was your face in the crowd

Said all I ever cared about, all I ever cared about
Was your face in the crowd
